Hemp yarn with very little processing done to it, from Hungary. I'm planning to make a sensation mitt sort of thing out of it. Very scratchy. I found hemp that's been more heavily processed that's much better for clothing at a LYS. Maybe when I get some more yarn worked out of my stash. :)
The ribbon pillow. It's the cheap-o acrylic ribbon from Michael's. It's not very soft, but it's not really scratchy either. This is just a 18" square sofa pillow. I still need to dye the pillow form underneath.
This is the other side of the ribbon pillow.
The cotton beach-cover up skirt. I think it might be okay with a short slip underneath too. Not very dressy at all. Not sure how it will be after getting washed once or twice either. I made it really wide (it's a wrap-around) so it would fit a range of sizes. It's a little over a foot long (covers my butt and a little more). Still need the buttons to hold it closed - they're 1" diameter and almost exactly the same wine color. They'll just button through the open spaces in the pattern.
Fuzzy detail of the pattern - it's a fan/two double stitches pattern.
Another little condom pocket made from greenish wool and some blue/green/gold floof. Button closure.
